Gagner with a 4 point night against us is hilarious.

Gagner can score twice that in a game, so the Coyotes D cut that in half. Progress!

True. Coyotes > Blackhawks

OEL fell apart in the third. Vrbata was a turnover machine all game. Domi was meh. Dvo is strong when hitting and getting hit, weak in puck battles. Doan was horrible and hurts our team every shift. Gogo was a turnover machine. Fourth line was solid. Perlini was solid. Mcginn was meh. Nook was solid. Rieder was solid.

We just fell apart in the 3rd.

 

[Mosby]

Probably the worst game I've seen from Marty Hanzal in years. Domingue wasn't good either.

Liked Perlini though. And those wheels on the Nook, oh man.

 

[Mosby]

Jackets won over twice as many draws as us.

Aren't we just terrible up the middle. I can't imagine any team is worse. We need to fix this asap. Pay the price and do it.

Yeah because this type of depth isn't help Devo either.

Columbus really should be a model of what we can be. No true #1C, solid defense (probably a little better than ours but not much), and chock full of feisty wingers with speeds, grit and skill. I hope we look like this in a year or two.

Lost our stop gap when Richardson went down - bad deal.

Wasn't he our leading scorer at the time as well?

 

[Snarky Coyote]

So much fail. What is the common denominator? it can only be skill or coaching. (hint its not really skill) 18 shots is unacceptable. 2 in the 3rd? Dump and chase doesn't work.

 

[Mosby]

The bad news for Duclair was there wasn't one point in that game where I noticed he was missing.

Fan coming in peace. How's Chychrun doing? See he has alot of scratches lately. I'm a big fan and want him to do well especially after the draft snubs

Are the scratches justified or just coaching?

Coming in peace?

 

[CC96]

This trash is literally unwatchable. Just ****ing fire Tippett already.

He's been great. He's just getting scratched constantly, because Tippett is arguably the worst coach in the league.

 

[CC96]

On the bright side, we have points in 7 of our last 10 games, yet we're 1 point out of dead last in the entire league, while having played 1 more game than the 30th place team.

Jackets won over twice as many draws as us.

When Richardson was in, we had one of the top face off teams. Now we are one of the worst.

They're neither.

They aren't making the playoffs. Last thing I want to see is a panic trade.

8 points less then the 9th place team that has played 4 games. 10 points in last 10 games, 1 point per game clip. That is an 82 point pace. Is anyone surprised? This is kind of who we are And what was expected (if you are being realistic).

 

[Mosby]

Gagner was our 3rd on the team in points his year here. Still don't like that we got rid of him.

That speaks more to how awful the rest of the tank team was than Gagner's greatness. I mean, 41 points, big deal.

The bad news for Duclair was there wasn't one point in that game where I noticed he was missing.

The good news is Tippett can't hang this one on him.

 

[strizzy16]

OEL looks like there is something wrong with him. I cant remember what exact came it was but he got crunched at the blueline and looked like he hurt his ribs or shoulder. I don't think he has been the same since. his skating looks off

Hanzal keeps doing this move on the boards where he raises his stick high and then like wraps up the opposition with one hand. Maybe I just havent noticed him doing it in years past, but if he keeps playing like this he is going to have 3 penalties a game. He is causing a lot of turnovers on the forecheck, but this game was an example of him doing more harm than good with his physical play

 

[_Del_]

I don't particularly enjoy the reductio ad Tippett(um)

Blitzkrieg is about the last thing that should be used to describe this offense.

5 shots in the second and third? Going to skip this one, I think.

Gagner on pace for 35-25-60 on a winning club under a defensive coach averaging less ice time than Doan. Too bad our coach doesn't play guys to their strengths.

Must stick to the system. The system Del. It never fails.

Tippett has no clue how to coach a player like Gagner. Trying to force Gagner to play Tippett's system does not one any good.
